There is so many to choose from...the intro to "Dance On" and "Days of Wild" spring to mind.

I know it's not a true 'beat', but the drums that come to mind are in "What's My Name?" music

I really love the "Musicology" drum beat, especially when played live by John Blackwell. As an amateur drummer myself, it took me like a week to finally get my coordination up to scratch to play that beat lol

Believe it or not, I consider Wherever You Go from Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic as one of his funkiest drumb beats.
